Tour Thoughts and Bits

THUNDER STORMSWe've had to run away from 4 of them already. Solutions thus far:

barn

fairgrounds

library

OR Dept. of Transportation shelter.

GETTING THE HANG OF THINGSWe're STILL trying to get the hang of getting out of camp early so that we can pull into camp early and have that extra hour or two to dawdle or relax-- instead of rushing to make dinner and immediately hitting the sack.

oh..

I stopped taking photos. I just had to look.

CURRENTLYAt the wonderful Dayville Community Presbyterian Church, where they have been welcoming cyclists for years. They offer shelter, shower, laundry, kitchen and kind people to look after you. Thank you!!
